"I don't trust him, Master," Mo-hi voiced out as he flew beside the Naija youth. He glanced over his shoulder, his gaze settling on Bia-li, who was chatting with Susi while smiling faintly behind Lumiho and Lira.Chris merely smiled while staring into the distance. Towering buildings pierced the heavens, while countless beasts below scattered into hiding as their group flew overhead."I didn't trust you at first either, Mo-hi..." Chris said softly. "Many times, I wanted to kill you, but I decided to place my hope in you instead."The disciple released a weak sigh."I was different, Master. You saw it," he argued. "But him... he has something in his eyes that doesn't sit right with me.""The desire to do anything in order to obtain what he wants, even at the cost of his own life," Chris replied coldly.Mo-hi looked back at Bia-li once again, the rushing wind messing up his hair."Listen," the Naija youth spoke after a long silence, his eyes carrying a trace of nostalgia. "If you want t

Dark clouds gathered over the Eastern Region, so dark and ominous that they could no longer be considered natural.Mo-hi, Susi, Bia-li, and the four remaining disciples stood amidst the ruins, breathing heavily. Their robes were soaked in blood—some their own, some belonging to their enemies. Sweat dripped from their exhausted bodies, mixing with the crimson stains that covered them from head to toe.Around them lay thousands of corpses.Monsters and disciples alike were scattered across the battlefield like fallen leaves. Rivers of blood flowed through the shattered earth, and the thick metallic scent in the air was so overwhelming that it choked their lungs.One disciple stared blankly at the carnage."Are we... monsters?" he asked softly, his voice trembling.The question lingered in the air.No one answered immediately.Their eyes wandered across the battlefield, taking in the destruction they had caused.Finally, Mo-hi broke the silence."No. This strength we possess now is a res

"Senior Mo-hi!"Bia-li screamed, Susi resting unconscious on his back while blood poured from the numerous wounds covering her body."We need to leave now!"His voice was filled with urgency as he dashed through the thick clouds of dust, narrowly dodging the massive chunks of stone falling from the violent clash between the two terrifying figures.Mo-hi grunted.His right arm trembled violently under the overwhelming pressure of blocking the Origin's slash."Bia-li...!" he shouted, coughing up large amounts of blood. "I will hold it off... Go without me!"The veins across his body bulged as though they would burst at any moment.Bia-li did not argue.He simply gritted his teeth and continued running.---"Susi..."Leaping over a boulder the size of a three-story building, Bia-li swung his short silver axe, splitting another enormous rock into two before it could crush them."Please... don't die."His plea was barely audible.His exhausted legs pushed forward with everything they had l

"Do you think he can survive against that thing?" Lira asked, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she and Lumiho pushed through the atmosphere at incredible speed.Lumiho's expression remained grim."That being's energy feels like death itself," he replied in a low voice. "As for the Supreme Elder… his aura is like that of a father punishing his child. Both are terrifying in their own ways. Either way, we need to get as far away from that battlefield as possible."Lira let out a deep sigh, her face pale."Let's pray he wins. If he doesn't… then we're all dead."Her words lingered heavily in the air as they continued their desperate race against time.---"Hey, Susi."Bia-li gently slapped her cheek.Before them stood a massive ancient tree, its trunk so enormous that it resembled a giant bridge stretching into the heavens."Susi..."He called repeatedly, lightly tapping her face.Still, she remained motionless, though her faint breathing assured him that she was still alive."Fuck

"MASTER!"Mo-hi's desperate scream echoed across the battlefield as Bia-li dragged him away by the collar. Together with the remaining disciples, they rushed toward the tunnel that led out of the Void Realm, refusing to look back despite the chaos unfolding behind them.Chris smiled weakly despite his battered condition. Blood streamed down the side of his face, staining his skin crimson. His left arm hung limply, completely broken, while countless wounds covered his body. Resting on one knee, he struggled to catch his breath as every inhale sent sharp pain through his chest.[Host Body Status: Several Broken Bones.][Internal Bleeding: 50%.][Spiritual Energy Depletion: 60%.]The Origin watched the escaping disciples with a calm smile. Floating effortlessly in the air with its legs crossed, it showed no intention of chasing them—not yet. To the terrifying being, they were nothing more than prey that could be hunted at any moment."Let me go, Bia-li!" Mo-hi roared, struggling violentl
